Chapter Seventeen
FRENCH QUARTER CAFÉ
The next day, Christy is sitting at a table with a chocolate vanilla milkshake, topped with whipped cream and a straw.
{Christy Outfit}
As she sips on her milkshake, Christy's phone buzzes on the table. She picks it up and looks at it.
Kol
Christy small smiles to herself and answers her phone. "Hey, Kol. How are you?"
"Hello, my favorite sister-in-law, I just wanted to let you know that Davina and I are in town." Kol told her on the phone.
"Did Klaus filled you in on everything?" Christy asked.
"He did. I'm with Nik, Elijah and Rebekah and Freya in the ballroom right now." Kol said to her. "Davina is attending some witch business as usual."
"Okay, thanks for letting me know that you and Davina are here in New Orleans." Christy said.
"I'll see you whenever I see you." Kol said.
"You too." Christy said.
And Kol hangs up his phone and Christy continues taking sips of her milkshake.

THE CAULDRON
Afterwards, Christy is sitting atop of a table. She and Davina exchange small waves at each other.
Davina slowly walks up to Christy and gently sits down at the table with her.
"It's good to see you, Davina." Christy said to her with a small smile.
"It's good to see you too, Christy." Davina said with a small smile. "Kol told you that we were here in New Orleans, did he?"
"He did." Christy told her.
Christy and Davina exchange looks at each other and Christy's wrist comm buzzes in her jacket pocket. She takes out her wrist comm and presses the button.
Bassea appears on the wrist comm screen. "Christiana?"
"Hi, Bassea. Is everything okay?" Christy asked, concerned.
"Not really. I think you should come check for yourself." Bassea informed her. "Are you occupied?"
"I'm not. But I'm on my way, B." Christy said.
"Yes, ma'am." Bassea said, and hangs up her wrist comm.
Christy glances at Davina. "Davina? I have to go. If you managed to go by the Mikaelson Compound, just tell the others I'm attending to some business at Mount Orasani."
"Okay." Davina said.
And Christy golden dusted teleported herself away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI / PILLAR HALLWAY
Later that day, Christy is with Loyalist Kreutzer and Loyalist Aris. Bassea is with them as well.
"There is an incoming thunderstorm in a few minutes." Loyalist Aris said.
"And other than that, the people of Mount Orasani cannot praise you enough already." Kreutzer said.
"Thanks, Kreutzer." Christy thanked him with a small smile.
"Kreutzer and I will take our leave now. I'm sure that you and Bassea have some things to discuss." Loyalist Aris said.
"Alright." Christy said.
Loyalist Kreutzer and Loyalist Aris bows their heads at Christy. She and Bassea bows their heads at them.
And Kreutzer and Aris walks away.
Christy and Bassea takes a stroll together.
"Kreutzer is right though, there's an incoming thunderstorm. There's gonna be a warning bell in a minute." Bassea said.
"Alright, I need you to go with Theseus to see if he needs some help escorting everyone, and then, I'll meet you in the main room." Christy said.
"Yes, ma'am." Bassea said and walks away.
And Christy walks away.

- Third POV -
On the street that afternoon, everyone is visiting the vendors and the vendor markets.
And then, the warning bell dings.
Everyone gets their belongings and families and scurries back to their homes.
The Majordomo, Theseus, rides on his horse in the middle of the street. "Everyone inside! A thunderstorm is upon us! Return to your homes until notice further!"
Bassea rides up on her horse next to Theseus. "Theseus? Christiana sent me to help with you."
"Alright." Theseus said.
Hagarth helps among the Orasanian citizens, getting them back to their homes safely.
"Lock yer door and keep yerself safe and sound." said Hagarth.
The warning bell dings again.
Christy rides up to the tall double gates on her horse. "Is everyone safely inside?"
"Yes, Milady." An Orasanian Guardswoman told her. "And all of the animals are safely inside their barns and stables."
"Okay." Christy said. "Close the gates and get yourself to the other Guardswoman."
"I will, Milady. We Orasanian Guardsmen and Guardswoman appreciates your concern." The Orasanian Guardswoman said. "And get yourself inside as well."
"I will." Christy said.
And the Orasanian Guardswoman scurries away.
Christy rides back over to Hagarth. "Hagarth?"
"I'm on my way ta my hut house." Hagarth said.
"Alright." Christy said, and rides away.
"Christiana." Theseus said.
Theseus and Christy exchange looks at each other.
"Bassea told me that she awaits you in the main room." Theseus said.
"Okay, what about the children? The demigods and demigoddess?" Christy asked.
"They're at home, Milady." Theseus said.
"You get yourself home, Theseus." Christy said to him.
"Your concern is appreciated noted as always, Christiana." Theseus said and rides away on his horse.
And Christy rides away on her horse.

- Third POV -
The warning bell stopped ringing and the streets are cleared and empty. Everyone is at home and all of the animals are safely inside.
Dark gray clouds forms in the sky with a sudden rumble of thunder and lightning. It starts pouring down heavy raining and strong winds.

MAIN ROOM
That evening, the Six Handmaidens Assistants, along with other Orasanian citizens, Vek and Bassea, are sitting around on the sofas, eating on snacks and drinking water to pass the time of the thunderstorm.
Christy is sitting at the table, on her laptop, video-chatting with Klaus.
"Davina told me that you were at Mount Orasani. There's a thunderstorm there." Klaus said on the video chat screen. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, everyone, and I mean, everyone, at home safely inside their homes. The streets are cleared and empty. And I'm okay. I'm with others in the main room." Christy told her husband.
"How do you think the thunderstorm will last?" Klaus asked.
"I don't know." Christy said.
Suddenly, another rumble of thunder concurs and the lights pulses on and off, causing Christy to look around at the ceiling lights.
"Chris? What's going on?" Klaus asked, becoming worried.
"It's the lights, the thunderstorm is causing the lights to slowly flicker on and off." Christy told him. "Klaus? I have to go."
"Alright, be careful." Klaus said.
"Always am." Christy said.
Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. Luna and Trinity pops up onto the laptop screen.
"Be careful, Mom. We love you." Trinity said.
"Love you guys too." Christy said.
Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small waves at each other and Christy hangs up her video chat on her laptop screen.

Shortly after, a strong wind encounters the main room's window. The window shatters and breaks, causing the shard glasses to spread everywhere and on the floor.
"Is everyone okay?" Vek asked.
"Everyone's okay." Theseus replied. "A few are wounded, but will be okay."
Christy is sitting upright against a wall.
"Christiana?" Bassea said, walking over to her. "Christiana?"
"My back side shoulder." Christy said.
Bassea looks at Christy's left side back shoulder and sees a shard glass stuck.
"Theseus?!" Bassea exclaimed. "It's Christiana, she's hurt."
Theseus walks over to Christy and kneels down next to her and checks her out.
"It's not deep, just wounded." said Theseus.

- Third POV -
Later that night at MAX'S AND GIA'S PENTHOUSE, everyone has gathered in the living room, watching the news channel on TV, about a thunderstorm in Mount Orasani.
THUNDERSTORM AT HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI, FEW WOUNDED, is the headline.
Klaus watches the news channel about Mount Orasani, worried about his wife, Christy. He has his arms folded.
Elijah gently puts a reassuring hand on his brother's shoulder. "Christy is alright."
Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other and they both looks at the new channel again.
